DescriptionProposes the initial phase of a long-term interdisciplinary research project to investigate the botanical, historical, anthropological and geological variables significant to scientific understanding of central Sonora, Mexico. Argues for development of new, truely interdisciplinary, research methodologies and research designs. Proposal never submitted.

Description
Squash and possible maize pollen in sediment samples from checkdams suggests the features are prehistoric and were used for crop production. No evidence that local environment was different when the features were used.

Description
Pilot study to assess the type of archaeological-context pollen samples most likely to yield results commensurate with investment. Results suggest floor sediment and floor feature fill deposits will yield better data for developing a pollen sequence than floor contact deposits. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction, however, will require financial support for a major surface sample control research effort that cannot be justified as site-focussed cultural resources management.

DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology. Explores types of information archaeologists can and cannot expect to obtain from initial palynological investigations at archaeological sites. Includes suggestions on pollen sampling.

DescriptionPilot study of 13 surface and 9 archaeological-context pollen samples from 2 sites in the Black River Ranger District. Analysis suggests a local pollen chronology can be developed from such samples, but paleoecological interpretation would be difficult.

Unpublished report, 1964
Pilot study of 3 pollen samples allows vegetation pattern reconstruction for period of occupation and suggests successful maize farming required water control technology.

DescriptionPollen records of samples from four archaeological sites excavated as a highway salvage project in New Mexico allow feature cross-dating, chronological placement of the sites, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

Description
Unpublished report, 1965.
Study of pollen samples from these two Reeve Phase sites was undertaken excluding Cheno-am and Compositae pollen from the pollen sum. Cross-dating suggests a five-horizon pollen sequence; three horizons are evidenced a both sites, the other two are from samples superimosed on the occupation floors of rooms. Dates between A.D. 1375 and 1490 are suggested for the sequence. Also discusses economically significant pollen types and presents cultural ecological interpretations. Published 1973
